Luck

UEFA have yet to raise an official complaint, meaning Bendtner is likely to be let off the hook, and the Arsenal striker, who spent the 2011/12 campaign on loan at Sunderland, claims it was not his intention to cause controversy.

"I was happy after having scored to make it 2-2, so I celebrated like I normally do," he said.

"But it was not a conscious thing on my part. It was simply some underwear that give a little luck. I also wore them in the first match and have worn them before.

"Of course I can see it's a bit unfortunate. But there is no agreement or anything like that. It was just for myself."
